Tango with Cows: Book Art of the Russian Avant-Garde, 1910–1917
through April 19, 2009
The Getty Center
Explore some of the most innovative art of the Russian avant-garde—handmade books filled with primitive abstract imagery, experimental typography, and radical free-form poetry called zaum' ("beyonsense"). Bold, playful, and comical, these works by artists such as Natalia Goncharova, Kazimir Malevich, and Mikhail Larionov revolutionized design—yet could be tucked away in a pocket.
Browse four of the books page by page with audio recordings, text translations, and an image tool both on gallery kiosks and on the exhibition Web site.
